Flying
Album When 2010
Album When 2010
Billy Falcon
The poet just stands there, watchin’ life drag itself by
Tryin’ to squeeze a rhyme out of what’s makin’ him cry
He steals from your mouth; he steals from your eyes
Takes what’s dull and dirty, and pours you some wine
He listens like a safe crack for the tumblers to slot
When he gets it just right, the cage door unlocks
And he goes Flyin’
Where no one can find him
Where nothin’ can hurt him
He goes Flyin’
Tryin’ to squeeze a rhyme out of what’s makin’ him cry
He steals from your mouth; he steals from your eyes
Takes what’s dull and dirty, and pours you some wine
He listens like a safe crack for the tumblers to slot
When he gets it just right, the cage door unlocks
And he goes Flyin’
Where no one can find him
Where nothin’ can hurt him
He goes Flyin’
He makes it all up, but somehow he makes you believe
Exactly how he wants it, that’s how it’s gonna read
He don’t like the feel of his feet on the ground
Says maybe that’s why his world’s upside down
With a point on his pencil he’s got control
His well- muscled body no prison can hold
He goes Flyin’
Right out the window,
Over the roof tops
He goes Flyin’
La.la, la la la, la la, la la la, lala
La.la , la la la, la la, la la la ,la la
Exactly how he wants it, that’s how it’s gonna read
He don’t like the feel of his feet on the ground
Says maybe that’s why his world’s upside down
With a point on his pencil he’s got control
His well- muscled body no prison can hold
He goes Flyin’
Right out the window,
Over the roof tops
He goes Flyin’
La.la, la la la, la la, la la la, la
La.la
In between verses, he scared he’s gone dry
Run out of adjectives to describe
The curl of her lip, the crimp of her eye
He sits in his cell until the next time
He goes Flyin’
Where no one can find him
Where nothin’ can hurt him
He goes Flyin’
Right out the window,
Over the roof top
He goes Flyin’
Run out of adjectives to describe
The curl of her lip, the crimp of her eye
He sits in his cell until the next time
He goes Flyin’
Where no one can find him
Where nothin’ can hurt him
He goes Flyin’
Right out the window,
Over the roof top
He goes Flyin’
Where nobody’s leavin’
Where nobody’s hurtin’
Where nobody’s dyin’
He goes Flyin’
He goes Flyin’
He goes Flyin’
La.la, la la la, la la, la la la,lala
La.la , la la la, la la, la la la,la la
La.la , la la la, la la, la la la,la la
La.la , la la la, la la, la la la,la La
Where nobody’s hurtin’

No time for cryin’ over you, ooh, ooh
Sort the mail, pick up the yard,
Change the strings on my guitar, ooh, ooh
So I don’t forget, I’ll make a list
Feed the car and wash the fish
Till I’m so damn dizzy,
I don’t know what day it is
But, when Sunday comes, it’s gonna hurt like hell
It’s gonna break my heart to wake up by myself
I’m gonna go to church
I’m gonna sit alone
I’m gonna say a prayer
I’m gonna drive back home
No, I won’t even know you’re gone
Not till Sunday comes
It’s gonna break my heart to wake up by myself
I’m gonna go to church
I’m gonna sit alone
I’m gonna say a prayer
I’m gonna drive back home
No, I won’t even know you’re gone
Not till Sunday comes
Oiled up that creakin’ door
Nothin’ round here squeaks no more, ooh, ooh
I gotta get myself in shape
Run in circles; lift some weights ooh, ooh
My friends they ask, I say I’m fine
They ask again ‘cause they think I’m lyin’
When I said I was all right, I was all right at the time
Nothin’ round here squeaks no more, ooh, ooh
I gotta get myself in shape
Run in circles; lift some weights ooh, ooh
My friends they ask, I say I’m fine
They ask again ‘cause they think I’m lyin’
When I said I was all right, I was all right at the time
But, when Sunday comes, it’s gonna hurt like hell
It’s gonna break my heart to wake up by myself
I’m gonna go to church

100 Dollar Bill

Album When 2010
Billy Falcon
A thousand dimes that fold just fine
When I lived in New York City,
I once found one on the street
I had nothin’ in my wallet when it came blowin’ up to me
It’s gonna make you smile
You know that it will
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Frank Sinatra gave ‘em out like they were cigarettes
If you got one like that you know that you’d never forget
Throw one out the car window and watch it blow away
If you wanna know for certain you just made somebody’s day
It’s gonna make you smile
You know that it will
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
If you got one like that you know that you’d never forget
Throw one out the car window and watch it blow away
If you wanna know for certain you just made somebody’s day
It’s gonna make you smile
You know that it will
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
It can get you a nice dinner, and maybe a movie
Buy yourself a stack of tickets, try to win the lottery
If I got that lucky, I know how I’d spend my day
Walkin’ round givin’ hundred dollar bills away
Buy yourself a stack of tickets, try to win the lottery
If I got that lucky, I know how I’d spend my day
Walkin’ round givin’ hundred dollar bills away
It’s crisp, it’s clean, it’s wide, it’s green
A thousand dimes that fold just fine
When I lived in New York City,
I once found one on the street
I had nothin’ in my wallet when it came blowin’ up to me
It’s gonna make you smile, you know that it will
Gonna make you smile, you know that it will
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Sometimes I wish I was a hundred dollar Bill
A thousand dimes that fold just fine
When I lived in New York City,
I once found one on the street
I had nothin’ in my wallet when it came blowin’ up to me
It’s gonna make you smile, you know that it will
Gonna make you smile, you know that it will
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Everybody loves a hundred dollar bill
Sometimes I wish I was a hundred dollar Bill

There’s a snake in the garden among the pretty flowers
Three ugly blackbirds on a roof
Been perched up there for hours
There’s a tear in your skin
A sin, you can’t confess
There’s a broken picket on a fence
Where you keep catchin’ your wedding dress
If everything you look for looks away
You can fall to me
I won’t let you break
Fall to me
I will keep you safe
You know, I’d never let you down
You can fall to me
Three ugly blackbirds on a roof

‘Round your neck, it’s just gold,
There’s no picture in the locket

So go on, if you want to you can fly

That night walkin’ out of the hospital
When friends and family finally went home
When I realized you were really gone
When the front door closed and I could not breathe
When I was in the hall down on my knees
When she woke up ‘cause she heard me cry
When she asked why God let momma die
When I was in the hall down on my knees
When she woke up ‘cause she heard me cry
When she asked why God let momma die
To buy her clothes and brush her hair
To tuck her in and say her prayers
Oh sometimes life is so fuckin’ unfair
Yeah, Yeah
To tuck her in and say her prayers
Oh sometimes life is so fuckin’ unfair
Yeah, Yeah
You should have been there
When she was at tree in her first grade play
On Christmas mornings and Mother’s Day
When I ran out of gas and fell like such a fool
Me and Rosie hitchhiking to her school
On Christmas mornings and Mother’s Day
When I ran out of gas and fell like such a fool
Me and Rosie hitchhiking to her school
When she came to me with worried eyes
She didn’t have to say, I could read her mind
I just took her hand walked out the door
Held it all the way to the drug store
She didn’t have to say, I could read her mind
I just took her hand walked out the door
Held it all the way to the drug store
To kiss her face and dry her tears
To whisper to her, momma’s here
Oh sometimes life is so fuckin’ unfair
Yeah…yeah
You should have been there
To whisper to her, momma’s here
Oh sometimes life is so fuckin’ unfair
Yeah…yeah

Momma, you should see her now
Trying on her wedding gown
I don’t want her to see me cry
So I turn away and I close my eyes
Trying on her wedding gown
I don’t want her to see me cry
So I turn away and I close my eyes
Life’s beautiful I wouldn’t change a thing
If you could only hear her sing
Sometimes I make mistakes and I let her down
I sure wish you could’ve been around
If you could only hear her sing
Sometimes I make mistakes and I let her down

Don’t touch my knee, don’t say my name

Don’t make me love you again.
Don’t call me up, when I’m drivin’ home,
I don’t wanna feel like I’m not alone,
Watch what you say, watch what you do
No, I won’t sing that song I wrote for you.
Don’t, don’t
Don’t make me love you

The best I could
With hands of love
From the finest wood
I braced the bow
I stitched the sail
I blessed every brass screw and nail
Lord, go with her when the sea is angry
Lord, go with her in the raging storm
Lord, go with her when the days are cruel
Lord, go with her when the night’s too long
Lord, go with her in the raging storm
Lord, go with her when the days are cruel
Lord, go with her when the night’s too long
Studied the stars, searchin’ to find
The safest course, and the kindest tide
Lifted her down the stony trail
I set her in the water, and raised her sail
The safest course, and the kindest tide
Lifted her down the stony trail
I set her in the water, and raised her sail
Lord, go with her when the sea is angry
Lord, go with her in the raging storm
Lord, go with her when the days are cruel
Lord, go with her when the night’s too long
Lord, go with her in the raging storm
Lord, go with her when the days are cruel
Lord, go with her when the night’s too long
Worrying from the watchtower
As the red sky fades
My heart drops to my stomach
As she tumbles through the waves
She slips past the horizon
That’s when I realize
She was always yours
Never really mine
As the red sky fades
My heart drops to my stomach
As she tumbles through the waves
She slips past the horizon
That’s when I realize
She was always yours
Never really mine
Lord go with her when the sun is golden
Lord go with her when way is clear
Lord go with her when the whole world loves her
Lord go with her When I’m. no longer..
Lord go with her when way is clear
Lord go with her when the whole world loves her

Take my treasure I’ll take what she brings
Ill equipped to state her case
I stand here in a state of grace
The first time I saw her face
I swear I heard the angels sing
Ah, and that’s a rare and beautiful, beautiful thing
She’s delicate but mighty like the sea
You can’t pay her price
‘Cause you cant buy what’s free
I can’t pin her down she’s not exact
That’s not to say that she’s abstract
Oh no it’s so much more than that
The things she’ll make you see
Ah, and that’s a rare and beautiful, beautiful thing

She’s the one that’s gonna stay
She’s my sister

She’s the one that’s gonna stay
Don’t search your dreams you won’t find her there
On a silver horse with golden hair
A black velvet cat on a diamond chair
A devil down on his knees saying a prayer
If you think those things can compare
You ain’t been listening to me

This muscle in my chest is it just a token
Beatin’ to remind me of a better day
When you were mine
Seemed like it was always summertime
When you laid me down, oh I slept so sound
Then I’d wake up and look into your blue eyes
Bluer than the blue sky, brighter than the sunshine

Dreams can be the cruelest time machine)

Leave this heartache behind
Get a place in Boggy Key, just the dog and me
I know it’s gonna take a little time
Maybe I’ll get a job singin’ Jimmy Buffet songs
In some salty tiki bar
Let the wind and the rum wash me away
They say down there a man can disappear, become somebody new
I wanna be somebody who is not in love with you
Maybe I’ll buy a boat,
Get myself a fishin’ pole
Reel ‘em in and throw ‘em back
I ’m done wonderin’ why we couldn’t make it fly
You’ve moved on and that’s a fact
Maybe I’ll write a book about exactly what it took
To make a man like me pack up his whole world and run away
They say down there a man can disappear, become somebody new
I wanna be somebody who, is not in love with you
Get myself a fishin’ pole
Reel ‘em in and throw ‘

Maybe I’ll write a book about exactly what it took
To make a man like me pack up his whole world and run away
They say down there a man can disappear, become somebody new
I wanna be somebody who, is not in love with you
Maybe I’ll get an easel, a canvass and some paint
Sit by the sea and brush the ocean blue
They say down there a man can disappear, become somebody new
I wanna be somebody who, is not in love with you
Maybe I can be somebody who, is not in love with you
Sit by the sea and brush the ocean blue
They say down there a man can disappear, become somebody new
I wanna be somebody who, is not in love with you
Maybe I can be somebody who, is not in love with you

The sky is torn
You’re hangin’ in
I’m holdin’ on
I can’t pretend
That nothing’s changed
Living in the shadows of love we made
That nothing’s changed
Living in the shadows of love we made
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it

Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you in me is still alive
Some will die
But the you in me is still alive
Am I blessed?
Or am I cursed
‘Cause the way we are
Ain’t the way we were
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we new it all
Or am I cursed
‘Cause the way we are
Ain’t the way we were
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we new it all
Back when we were innocent
I wondered where it went
Let’s go back and find it
I wondered where it went
Let’s go back and find it
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent

Here I go again, feeling like a criminal
Phantom in her nights, in her days I’m invisible
I don’t use the driveway, I park around the block
I go in the back door, she leaves it unlocked
It’s dark in her kitchen, but candles light the hallway
Feel my stomach tremble; I know she’s waiting for me
I came here to tell her that I can’t come here no more
My good intentions crumble behind her bedroom door
I’m Victoria’s Secret, nobody can know
She calls me up when her husband goes
I promised myself this is the last time
I’d lie in her arms telling myself she’s mine
She gives me her love, but I know I can’t keep it
I can never be more, I’m Victoria’s Secret
Before the sun comes up, like a fugitive I steal away
No one sees me go, but it’s not a clean getaway
I take nothing with me, but I leave so much behind
How can I be forgiven, when I’m the sin she hides?
I’m Victoria’s Secret, nobody can know
She calls me up when her husband goes
I promised myself this is the last time
I’d lie in her arms telling myself she’s mine
She gives me her love, but I know I can’t keep it
I can never be more; I can never be more,
I’m Victoria’s Secret
98 To Alabama
Album Songs About Girls

If you dont believe in angels
Then you ought to listen to what I say
Drive south on I-59 to US 98
Southeast on 98 to Alabama
Take exit 55 to see for your own eyes
If you dont believe in angels
And you wanna see one for yourself
If you wanna know for certain
Go southeast on 98 to Alabama
She dont got wings
Got no halo
She took me to heaven for awhile
Dont make my mistake
No, dont try to hold her
Be careful not to look too long in her eyes
Take a left at the first light
At the car wash make a right
If you dont believe in angels
And you wanna see one for yourself
If you wanna know for certain
Go southeast on 98 to Alabama
The flowers in her garden
You best leave them alone
The drive takes just three hours
But youve never been so far from home
Its the second house on the right
Trimmed in blue and white
If you dont believe in angels
And you wanna see one for yourself
If you wanna know for certain
Go southeast on 98 to Alabama
When my mother was born
On that South Brooklyn street
It didn't look good for my brothers and me
Born in the back of a store that sold cigars and candy
Cold she lay crying
And that's the way it would be
She took her last breath
And I kissed her goodbye
Walked down that hospital hall
Trying so hard not to cry
As he took his last breath
On Calvary's tree
It didn't look good
No there wasn't much hope
For my brothers and me
When you reach out And nobody's there
Scream and shout No one seems to care
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
It's the way she smiles
And the way she walks
The way her lip curls when she talks
It's what she says
And what she don't
It's what she will and what she won't
She makes me shake
She makes me scream
She makes me breakfast in between
Her ruby lips
Her emerald eyes
When she can't, it's the way she tries
It's the way her arms warm me like whiskey
The way she whispers baby
Did you miss me
It's what she says
And what she don't
It's what she will
And what she won't
She wraps herself around me
So tight
The way she holds onto me
All night, all night, all night
It's the way she shivers in my hands
The way she tells me only I can
It's all right what she will
What she do and what she don't
She's all right, what she will
What she will and what she won't
Yesterday I saw a picture
Hanging on the wall
You and me was laughing
Must of been a lifetime ago
When the sun was smiling
And the bluebird he sang
All we needed was money
And all we had was time, time
Now I'm alone with
This burning love this breaking heart
These aching eyes
This burning love
Well the sun still shines without you
As far as most can see
But no one sees these shadows
That come to swallow me
And no matter where or who I'm with
I've got to run away
now I think I know how you left
There's nothing anyone can say
Just time
Now I'm alone with
This burning love this breaking heart
These aching eyes
This burning love
Somewhere time ran out on the bluebird's song
Last night walking down the hall
I could have sworn I heard you call
But you're not here
I'm all alone with

Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz.
He's got another one just like it, just like all his friends.
His wife is playing tennis and his kids are off at school.
He drives home to his empty house, sits by his empty swimmin' pool.
But he's got power windows.
He's got power brakes.
He's got a power bed; push a button and it shakes.
He's got no one to talk to, tears rollin' down his face...
He ain't got the power... the power of love.
Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dodge.
Swears it's a statue of Mary keeps his car from fallin' apart.
Gracie right beside him sittin' closer than a smile.
She's got her head on his shoulder.
Oh how he loves to drive and hold her.
He's got no power windows.
Got no power breaks.
He ain't got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes.
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face....
He's got the power...the power of love.
No air conditioning no cellular telephone.
He goes rumblin' down the highway, listenin' to his AM radio.
One arm out the window and a smile upon his face...
Makes you wonder how he got there, 'till you see him look at Grace. (see him look at Grace)
He's got the power (ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power (aint that the power of love)
He's got no power windows.
Got no power brakes.
He ain’t got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes......
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face...
He's got the power.......of love.
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
I guess I'm just not funny anymore
I can't seem to make you laugh
The way you did before
I guess I'm just not the boy I used to be
That sparkle in your eyes
I can't find it for the life of me
I've tried,
I don't know from nothing girl
If I don't know from you
Here I stand the world’s biggest fool
All this time, I never had a clue
When did I lose you
She says he hardly ever holds her
She says he hardly pays her any mind
Been such a long time since he's told her
He used to talk about forever
Now he don't have the time
These days he hardly ever loves her
Lookin' at her I find that hard to believe
If it's true he's gonna lose her
If I have my way, it will be to me
I'm gonna hold her tighter
I'm gonna lover her like she's never
Been loved before
and if there's trouble I'll
Be beside her long before
The first teardrop ever falls

I'm getting married in the morning
I'm finally gonna do Mr. Right, right
I'm getting married in the morning
Baby I'm staying here with you tonight
I'm getting married
I'm getting married in the morning
How do I tell my baby
Momma's not coming home
How do I tell myself
I'll be staying alone
Or why I can't stop crying
She'll say Daddy, I want to hold her
I want to see her again
Want to kiss her, want to touch her
Oh, what can I say, So do I
Oh Momma, I'm missing you real bad
But it don't do me no good
Sitting, thinking about what we had
Love don't stop
It goes on forever
Love don't stop
And it never will
Love don't stop
One day we'll be together
Love don't stop
And I'll sing this song to you someday
On heaven's highest hill
How am I gonna look into those big brown eyes
When she wakes up crying out in the middle of the night for Momma
How will I make it better
The house is full of people
But nobody's home
Everybody's here and I'm all alone
Calling out your name but there's no answer
Oh, Momma last night she told me not to cry
I swear I see you every time she smiles
I don't know if you hear me
She said hey baby
And my bed began to shake
She said hey baby
And the earth began to quake
She said hey baby
I could feel myself falling in
She said hey baby
Don't you wanna try again
Been six months since I saw you
Girl I've been dying for you
now you call me up
And you say you wanna be my friend
You left me here in ruins
Now you ask me how I'm doing
How many times do you think my world's gonna end
On the day you left me
They laid me in my grave
Now you send me flowers
Darlin' it's too late
Girl you killed me once
That's gonna have to suffice
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice
No I never knew love better
Than the love we made together
I probably never will
So let that be my curse
Now I really really miss you
But you're talking to a dead man
And it don't get no worse
On the day you left me
Girl I disappeared
Now you call me up
Don't you know that I'm not here
Came on like a heart attack
You took me by surprise
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice
Hey baby I'm not gonna die twice
That night you called and said you'd had it with me
You don't have to live your life my way
You took our bed and put it out in the street
You left me all over the highway
She said hey baby
Are you all alone?
Hey baby
I'm down the corner on the phone
Hey baby
Come on downstairs and let me in
Hey baby
Tell me how long has it been
Hey baby
You ought to see the shape I'm in
Hey baby
I'll make you breakfast in the morning
Hey baby
Tell me wouldn't that be nice
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice
Oh Boy
I went by last night to pick up my things
Oh boy, ooh boy
Lately our songs had too many words to sing
Oh boy, ooh boy
It took all the strength from my knees to walk up the steps
Oh boy
It took all the courage I had to knock on the door
Oh boy
My heart was racing, the door opened so slow
I should hve run, but how could I go
All she had on was the radio-boy
Ooh boy
Without a word she called me in
Oh boy, ooh boy
Just one little step for me a chasm to span
Oh boy, ooh boy
We started dancing, God I couldn't believe how she felt
Oh boy
Rollin' and tumblin', fumblin' for my buttons and belt
The music was playing so soft and low
I should have run, but how could I go
All she had on was the radio-boy, ooh boy
Kisses like cherries put wings on my pain
Love coming down like sunshine on sugar cane
It took all the strength from my knees to walk up the steps
I took all the courage I had to knock on the door
My heart was racing, the door opened so slow
I should have run, but how could I go
All she had on ws the radio-boy
Ooh boy

Weeds
Album Songs About Girls
Billy Falcon
weeds don't need you
weeds don't need me
they'll strangle your flowers
they'll grow into trees
cracks are like weeds
they need nothing to grow
they'll tear into canyons
and swallow you whole
rust is determined to corrupt and creep
a rotting infection that works while you sleep
but the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast and your car needs a kiss
fear needs no coaxing or encouragement
it feeds on itself, it's self-sufficient
darkness is complete, it is what it takes
it sucks and it swallows
it smothers and breaks
anger's a fire no one needs to stoke
consumes like a cancer
it spills all you choke
but the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast
and the car needs a kiss
unforgiveness
leaves scars you can't trace
furrows and worry
the sweet smile neglected
a grimace will replace
cause the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast
and your car needs a kiss
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the house needs breakfast
and your car needs a kiss
weeds don't need you
weeds don't need me
they'll strangle your flowers
they'll grow into trees
cracks are like weeds
they need nothing to grow
they'll tear into canyons
and swallow you whole
rust is determined to corrupt and creep
a rotting infection that works while you sleep
but the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast and your car needs a kiss

It's a sunny happy day and the sky is crystal clear oh yeah
Surprise surprise I'm okay the best I've been in years oh yeah
Summer's hanging in the trees
bluebirds butterflies and bees
The world's all right and that's all right with me
Cause I hardly think about it anymore
Oh it's just a distant memory
And I hardly think about it anymore
what happened to the dream
And it only hurts when I breathe
Got more money in the bank than I ever had before oh yeah
Things keep going my way pretty soon I'll have a whole lot more oh yeah
But I'm sleeping in a lonely bed when I remember to forget
The world's all right and that's all right with me
Cause I hardly think about it anymore
Oh it's just a distant memory
And I hardly think about it anymore
what happened to the dream
And it only hurts when I breathe
And it only hurts yes it only hurts
now it only hurts when I breathe
Sun up sun down

Last night in a dream
An angel came to me
She granted me one wish
And when she asked what it would be
Did I wish that we all could live in peace?
Did I wish for an end to poverty?
No, I wished it away so selfishly
When I wished that you would always love me
This morning when I woke
I found myself in pain
Though it was just a dream
I was so ashamed
Did I wish that we all could live in peace?
Did I wish for an end to poverty?
No, I wished it away so selfishly
When I wished that you would always love me
If I could only dream that dream once more
I wouldn’t make the same mistake that I made before
With my one wish, Id wish for three wishes more
Id wish that we all could live in peace
Id wish for an end to poverty
And here’s what my last wish would be
Id wish that you would always love me.

As my daddy lay there on Omaha Beach
It didn't look good for my brothers and me
There were 24 hours on that longest day
now ten thousand crosses Scar the beach where they lay
Under machine gun fire On that blood day called D
Back home a young girl was praying
God bring him home for me
It didn't look good for my brothers and me
There were 24 hours on that longest day
now ten thousand crosses Scar the beach where they lay
Under machine gun fire On that blood day called D
Back home a young girl was praying
God bring him home for me
When you reach out and nobody's there
Scream and shout No one seems to care
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
Scream and shout No one seems to care
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
You've still got a prayer
When my mother was born
On that South Brooklyn street
It didn't look good for my brothers and me
Born in the back of a store that sold cigars and candy
Cold she lay crying
And that's the way it would be
When you cry out And nobody hears
Just fear and doubt All you've left is tears
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
You've still got a prayer
Just fear and doubt All you've left is tears
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
You've still got a prayer
She took her last breath
And I kissed her goodbye
Walked down that hospital hall
Trying so hard not to cry
As he took his last breath
On Calvary's tree
It didn't look good
No there wasn't much hope
For my brothers and me
When you reach out And nobody's there
Scream and shout No one seems to care
When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to
You've still got a prayer

And the way she walks
The way her lip curls when she talks
It's what she says
And what she don't
It's what she will and what she won't
She makes me shake
She makes me scream
She makes me breakfast in between
Her ruby lips
Her emerald eyes
When she can't, it's the way she tries
It's the way her arms warm me like whiskey
The way she whispers baby
Did you miss me
It's what she says
And what she don't
It's what she will
And what she won't
She wraps herself around me
So tight
The way she holds onto me
All night, all night, all night
It's the way she shivers in my hands
The way she tells me only I can
It's what she says
And what she don't
It's what she will
And what she won't
And what she don't
It's what she will
And what she won't
It's all right what she will
What she do and what she don't

Hanging on the wall
You and me was laughing
Must of been a lifetime ago
When the sun was smiling
And the bluebird he sang
All we needed was money
And all we had was time, time
Now I'm alone with
This burning love this breaking heart
These aching eyes
This burning love
Well the sun still shines without you
As far as most can see
But no one sees these shadows
That come to swallow me
And no matter where or who I'm with
I've got to run away
now I think I know how you left
There's nothing anyone can say
Just time
Now I'm alone with
This burning love this breaking heart
These aching eyes
This burning love
Somewhere time ran out on the bluebird's song
Last night walking down the hall
I could have sworn I heard you call
But you're not here
I'm all alone with
This burning love
This breaking heart
These aching eyes
This burning love
Staring out the window
At your favorite flowers
This burning love
These aching eyes
This burning love
Staring out the window
At your favorite flowers
This burning love
This burning love
This burning love

Pretty blue world
Spinning in space
Been that way since the first tear
Rolled down Adam's face
Man we get beat up
Time's taken more than its toll
When times get this hard girl
It's hard to take hold
I don't wanna give up
Baby, hold on to me girl
Spinning in space
Been that way since the first tear
Rolled down Adam's face
Man we get beat up
Time's taken more than its toll
When times get this hard girl
It's hard to take hold
I don't wanna give up
Baby, hold on to me girl
I'll hold on to you
Faith, hope and love's what it takes to get through
In this pretty blue world
It's a pretty blue world
Waking up to a struggle
I don't want to face
Ain't got a choice
Now we're stuck in this place
Is anybody up there
Sometimes it's hard to believe
Think our prayers have been answered
We've got what we need
When you wanna give up
Ain't much that's certain
Between the curtains
But as long as this world continues to spin
no matter how blue, baby
This much is true, baby
Faith hope and love
Baby
Hold on to me girl
When it gets cold
Do I have your love
That's all I need to know
In this pretty blue world
It's a pretty blue world
Faith, hope and love's what it takes to get through
In this pretty blue world
It's a pretty blue world
Waking up to a struggle
I don't want to face
Ain't got a choice
Now we're stuck in this place
Is anybody up there
Sometimes it's hard to believe
Think our prayers have been answered
We've got what we need
When you wanna give up
Ain't much that's certain
Between the curtains
But as long as this world continues to spin
no matter how blue, baby
This much is true, baby
Faith hope and love
Baby
Hold on to me girl
When it gets cold
Do I have your love
That's all I need to know
In this pretty blue world
It's a pretty blue world
Pretty Blue World 1991
Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz.
He's got another one just like it, just like all his friends.
His wife is playing tennis and his kids are off at school.
He drives home to his empty house, sits by his empty swimmin' pool.
But he's got power windows.
He's got power brakes.
He's got a power bed; push a button and it shakes.
He's got no one to talk to, tears rollin' down his face...
He ain't got the power... the power of love.
Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dodge.
Swears it's a statue of Mary keeps his car from fallin' apart.
Gracie right beside him sittin' closer than a smile.
She's got her head on his shoulder.
Oh how he loves to drive and hold her.
He's got no power windows.
Got no power breaks.
He ain't got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes.
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face....
He's got the power...the power of love.
No air conditioning no cellular telephone.
He goes rumblin' down the highway, listenin' to his AM radio.
One arm out the window and a smile upon his face...
Makes you wonder how he got there, 'till you see him look at Grace. (see him look at Grace)
He's got the power (ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power (aint that the power of love)
He's got no power windows.
Got no power brakes.
He ain’t got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes......
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face...
He's got the power.......of love.
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)

I can't seem to make you laugh
The way you did before
I guess I'm just not the boy I used to be
That sparkle in your eyes
I can't find it for the life of me
I've tried,
God knows I've tried
the laughter just stopped
I guess I'm just not funny anymore
I guess you just don't
Love me anymore
The struggle's over now
Is this what we've been struggling for
Somewhere I must have lost my way
I just can't seem to make no sense
To you, no matter what I say
I've tried,
I guess I'm just not funny anymore
I guess you just don't
Love me anymore
The struggle's over now
Is this what we've been struggling for
Somewhere I must have lost my way
I just can't seem to make no sense
To you, no matter what I say
I've tried,
God knows I've tried
The sky is falling
Love is crawling ‘cross the floor
I'm crying, the laughter just stopped
I guess I'm just not funny anymore, yeah
I’m not funny anymore I'm not funny anymore
The sky is falling
Love is crawling ‘cross the floor
I'm crying, the laughter just stopped
I guess I'm just not funny anymore, yeah
I’m not funny anymore I'm not funny anymore
I don't know from nothing girl
If I don't know from you
Here I stand the world’s biggest fool
All this time, I never had a clue
When did I lose you
I've tried,
God knows I've tried
The laughter just stopped
I guess I'm just not…
I guess I'm just not…
funny anymore
yeah, I'm not funny anymore
I'm not funny anymore, stop the crying
I'm not funny anymore, stop the crying
I'm not funny anymore, stop the crying
I'm not funny anymore, stop the crying
I'm not funny anymore, stop the crying
Oh, I'm not funny anymore
Oh, I'm not funny anymore

She says he hardly pays her any mind
Been such a long time since he's told her
He used to talk about forever
Now he don't have the time
These days he hardly ever loves her
Lookin' at her I find that hard to believe
If it's true he's gonna lose her
If I have my way, it will be to me
My new girlfriend's got a boyfriend
They say that all is fair in love and war
My new girlfriend's got a boyfriend
And I'm ready to wage a war
They say that all is fair in love and war
My new girlfriend's got a boyfriend
And I'm ready to wage a war
I'm gonna hold her tighter
I'm gonna lover her like she's never
Been loved before
and if there's trouble I'll
Be beside her long before

Last nite she let me kiss her

Momma's not coming home
How do I tell myself
I'll be staying alone
Or why I can't stop crying
She'll say Daddy, I want to hold her
I want to see her again
Want to kiss her, want to touch her
Oh, what can I say, So do I
Oh Momma, I'm missing you real bad
But it don't do me no good
Sitting, thinking about what we had
Love don't stop
It goes on forever
Love don't stop
And it never will
Love don't stop
One day we'll be together
Love don't stop
And I'll sing this song to you someday
On heaven's highest hill
How am I gonna look into those big brown eyes
When she wakes up crying out in the middle of the night for Momma
How will I make it better
The house is full of people
But nobody's home
Everybody's here and I'm all alone
Calling out your name but there's no answer
Oh, Momma last night she told me not to cry
I swear I see you every time she smiles
I don't know if you hear me
Sometimes I like to think you do
All the things we been fighting for
I'm gonna make them all come true
And these arms they ache to hold you
And I know one day I will
I'll meet you in the tall grass
Up on heaven's highest hill
All the things we been fighting for
I'm gonna make them all come true
And these arms they ache to hold you
And I know one day I will
I'll meet you in the tall grass
Up on heaven's highest hill

And my bed began to shake
She said hey baby
And the earth began to quake
She said hey baby
I could feel myself falling in
She said hey baby
Don't you wanna try again
Been six months since I saw you
Girl I've been dying for you
now you call me up
And you say you wanna be my friend
You left me here in ruins
Now you ask me how I'm doing
How many times do you think my world's gonna end
On the day you left me
They laid me in my grave
Now you send me flowers
Darlin' it's too late
Girl you killed me once
That's gonna have to suffice
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice
No I never knew love better
Than the love we made together
I probably never will
So let that be my curse
Now I really really miss you
But you're talking to a dead man
And it don't get no worse
On the day you left me
Girl I disappeared
Now you call me up
Don't you know that I'm not here
Came on like a heart attack
You took me by surprise
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice
Hey baby I'm not gonna die twice
That night you called and said you'd had it with me
You don't have to live your life my way
You took our bed and put it out in the street
You left me all over the highway
She said hey baby
Are you all alone?
Hey baby
I'm down the corner on the phone
Hey baby
Come on downstairs and let me in
Hey baby
Tell me how long has it been
Hey baby
You ought to see the shape I'm in
Hey baby
I'll make you breakfast in the morning
Hey baby
Tell me wouldn't that be nice
Darlin' I don't wanna die twice

I went by last night to pick up my things
Lately our songs had too many words to sing
Oh boy, ooh boy
It took all the strength from my knees to walk up the steps
Oh boy
It took all the courage I had to knock on the door
Oh boy
My heart was racing, the door opened so slow
I should hve run, but how could I go
All she had on was the radio-boy
Ooh boy
Without a word she called me in
Oh boy, ooh boy
Just one little step for me a chasm to span
Oh boy, ooh boy
We started dancing, God I couldn't believe how she felt
Oh boy
Rollin' and tumblin', fumblin' for my buttons and belt
The music was playing so soft and low
I should have run, but how could I go
All she had on was the radio-boy, ooh boy
Kisses like cherries put wings on my pain
Love coming down like sunshine on sugar cane
It took all the strength from my knees to walk up the steps
I took all the courage I had to knock on the door
My heart was racing, the door opened so slow
I should have run, but how could I go
All she had on ws the radio-boy
Ooh boy
When You Were Mine

Then I’d be a rich man and you’d still, you’d still be mine
Heartaches ain’t nickels and I can’t I can’t go back in time
If questions were answers, if I could forget
Then I’d be a wise man and you’d be, you’d be outta my head
Questions ain’t answers and I can’t, I can’t forget
When you were mine
We used to drive all day just to hear some band
That’s how I learned to drive without usin’ my hands
You used to sit so close, baby that was when things were different then
When you were mine, when you were mine, when you were mine
If wishes were bridges and teardrops were joy
Then we’d be across and I’d be, I’d be one happy boy
Wishes ain’t bridges and teardrops, teardrops ain’t joy
Things were different then, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
If we could find once again, you and I maybe then
You’d be mine once again, things were different then
So much better when……
They used to call the cops, we made so much noise
Like two wild kids with a brand new toy
Now I’d give a finger, just to hear you voice
Things were different then, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
When you were mine, when you were mine
When you were mine……
You say you want no part of me
I didn’t come back here to give you some
I know that its half past three
Still time to tell you you’re the only one for me
I know you’re right behind this door
So I’ll just sit here ‘til you let me in
There ain’t no place else I need to be
I just need to tell you you’re the only one for me
Well you’ve always been the only one
The most beautiful girl in town
And even if you don’t want me
Still you’ll always be the only one
The most beautiful girl in town
I got in another fight
Then out of nowhere this fool pulls a knife
Something I said just made him mad
He must have stuck me good, I’m bleeding really bad
If you’ll just reach in my pocket
I got one last cigarette
And you’re the only reason that I ain’t smoked it yet
I didn’t come here to die girl
There’s just something that I gotta say
And if when I’m thru, you still want me to
I’ll light up and fade away
Well you’ve always been the only one
The most beautiful girl in town
And even if you don’t want me
Still you’ll always be the only one
The most beautiful girl in town
The most beautiful girl in town
The most beautiful girl in town
The most beautiful girl in town
The most beautiful girl in town

Impatients need the sun
And no one loves me like she loves me like
She knows that I’m her only one
Cause I’ll always be her only daddy
And she’s the little girl who changed the world
My life used to be mostly just ‘bout me
Now all of that is done
Direction still unsure, my reason to endure
A perfect little one
We were playin’ in the swimmin’ pool
And out of the blue she started to cry
And it shook me in my soul when I asked her why
She said daddy, if you should ever have another child
How could you still love me the same?
If there’s one thing that I’m sure of
I will always absolutely love you more than life itself
Cause I’ll always be her only daddy
And she’s the little girl who changed the world
Yes, I’ll always be your only daddy
And you’re the little girl who changed my world
No one needs me like she needs me like
Impatients need the sun

And I remember looking over a my shoulder
Back to my corner at you, confused, and I was wonderin’
Why don’t she throw the towel in, how come she don’t give up on me?
Does she still think that I can win; I don’t know what it is she sees
She believes
And sometimes it seems like I’ve been banging my fists on this wall so long
I can feel my whole world go numb
And it’s like I’ve been waitin’ in the pourin’ rain all my life
On a train that won’t ever come
I spend my days diggin’ for gold, with words and melody
Sometimes it seems I’m just diggin’ a hole, thru it all she stays with me
She believes, she believes
And she says little by little, by step by step,
A little to the right baby, a little to the left,
Don’t you let ‘um getcha, boy were gonna get there yet,
Little by little, by step by step
She believes that the sun will rise again, and that the losers are gonna win
She believes that love will overcome, and that the victory‘s been won
And she’s what I believe in
She believes little by little, by step by step
A little to the right baby, a little to the left,
Don’t you let ‘em getcha, boy were gonna get there yet,
Little by little, by step by step
Little by little, by step by step
You don’t get ‘em with your right, baby you’ll get ‘em with your left
Don’t you let ‘em getcha, boy were gonna get there yet,
Little by little, by step by step
Little by little, by step by step
You don’t get ‘em with your right, baby you’ll get ‘em with your left
Don’t you let ‘em getcha, boy were gonna get there yet,
Little by little, by step by step
Little by little, by step by step
A little to the right baby, a little to the left,
Don’t you let ‘em getcha, boy were gonna get there yet,

I’m tired of the buzz and that irritating rattle
I really like the first band, but the rest they sound the same
And everybody sings like that, it must be all the rain
I think there’s somthin’ wrong with my radio
I keep hearin’ the same songs everywhere I go
I might be mistaken, could be I just don’t know
Maybe, somethin’s wrong with my radio, yea
I unplugged it from the wall, so I could take it back
I brought it to the repair man at the Radio Shack
I said, I really like Led Zeppelin and I really like the Doors
But I can’t bear to hear Stairway to Heaven anymore
I think there’s somthin’ wrong with my radio
I keep hearing the same songs everywhere I go
Could it be I’m bitter, perhaps a little slow?
Maybe, somethin’s wrong with my radio, yea
So listen, Mr. DJ, please don’t get me wrong
When you get my new record, you can play it five times a day,
And all night long, all night long, all night long
I think there’s somthin’ wrong with my radio
I keep hearing the same songs everywhere I go
My friends, they left for Country, but I don’t wanna go
Maybe, somethin’s wrong, could be, somethin’s wrong
I think there’s somthin’ wrong with my radio, yea
They say that nothin’s perfect, baby, I guess will see
I must be really wrong, ‘cause your perfect for me
Looks like ten million diamonds, glowin’ in the night
They say that nothin’s perfect, baby, I guess will see
Words, they come easy, baby, it’s all in the follow through
Right here, right now, believe me, baby
It’s forever and always when I say that I love
See, I told you so and I mean what I say
When I tell you that I love you, baby
Never put nothin’ above you, baby
Mean it and I will until my diein’ day
See, I told you so
Lookin’ at the specimen babe, now that we pulled it all apart
Like love was some old jalopy, we kicked and couldn’t start
I know we can put it back together, baby
I know where all the pieces go
That’s it, right there, put your sweet lips on mine,
This time, careful, let’s take it slow
See, I told you so and I mean what I say
I told you so and I’ll never forget
When I told you I’d be there for ya
I told you that I cared for ya, baby
I meant every word that I said
I told you so
Promises were made to be broken, that’s just what some fool said
If there’s ever a day that I won’t die for you,
Baby that ‘ll just mean that I’m already dead
See, I told you so and I mean what I say
When I tell you that I love you, baby
Never put nothin’ above you, baby
I mean it and I will until my diein’ day
I told you so and I’ll never forget
When I told you I’d be there for ya
Told you that I care for ya, baby
I meant every word that I said
See, I told you so and I mean what I say
Baby, I told you so and I mean it, I mean it
Every word that I said

Johnny’s standin’ on the docks, starin’ across the river
If he could throw a stone all the way to New York City
He’d just keep throwin’ stones till he put out every light,
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels, tonight
He knows she’s over there somewhere, in his heart he hopes she’s well
Now he spits down in the water, sayin’ she can go to hell
She said she needed things that he could never give her
Now there’s no love left here, on this side of the river
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels, tonight
Don’t put a message in a bottle; it’ll just keep comin’ back to shore
Don’t throw no pennies down the wishin’ well; dreams don’t come true here anymore
Don’t bother waterin’ the roses; you’ll just be wastin’ your time
Don’t bother callin’ up your sweetheart; you’ll just be wastin’ your dime
But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
That’s just how Johnny feels; ooh, ooh, ooh, tonight
That’ how Johnny feels, tonight, that’s how Johnny feels
That’s how Johnny feels, tonight
That’s how Johnny feels, that’s how Johnny feels

Thank you for the light
If not for your motion picture projector
where would I have taken her tonight?
You didn’t know that she’d sit so close to me
You didn’t know how my heart would race inside
Dreams don’t know, dreams don’t know, dreams don’t know
They don’t know that they’re impossible
Tip my hat to Henry Ford
As we drive uptown
The way her hair blows in the wind
When I take her windows down
You didn’t know it that she’d sit so close to me
You didn’t know how my life would change that night
Dreams don’t know, dreams don’t know, dreams don’t know
They don’t know that they’re illogical
Dreams believe in miracles
I’m lonely in New York
She’s missin’ me in Tennessee
Tomorrow when my work is thru
I’ll be up there in the wild blue
Here’s to Wilbur and Orville’s flight..flight…flight

Doom dadoo, dadoo, dadoo, doo doo
It’s amazing, it’s amazing, it’s amazing to me
What we put ourselves through just trying to be
I tried to stick out sos I could fit in
When I turned around it killed me to see,
Everyone in the room stickin’ out just like me, saying
I wanna be different, not just another face in the crowd
wohh, I wanna be different, like everybody else, that’s how I’m different, now
Doom dadoo, dadoo, dadoo, doo doo
Marchin’ to the beat of a different drum,
Then he pierced his nose, his nipples and his tongue
Got himself all strung out being the only one
Said I’ll go down alone, singin’ my song
When he started to sing, a choir sang along, sayin’
I wanna be different, not just another face in the crowd
Ohh, I wanna be different, like everybody else, that’s how I’m different, now
Everybody bleeds red, everybody bruises blue
We all wanna’ be loved, if I could ever believe
That just bein’ myself, is enough to be loved by you,
I’d be so different
Doom dadoo, dadoo, dadoo, doo doo
Doom dadoo, dadoo, dadoo, doo doo
You think your alone in the masquerade,
Till you wake up and find we’re all in a parade, sayin’
I wanna be different, not just another face in the crowd
Ohh, I wanna be different, like everbody else, that’s how I”m different, now
Like everybody else…..
Dadoo, dadoo, dadoo, doo doo

When I go to join the departed, I don't want my heart jump-started
I don't want nobody bringin' me back here
I don't wanna make some fool a hero,
Just leave my pulse right there at zero
I don't want no stranger slobberin' on my lips.
If I should die alone in bed, if I should fall and hit my head
One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, cause I won't feel the pain
Don't you go doin' me no favors, doctor, you can shove that respirator
It's been fun, but now it's done, boys, I'm outta here
Don't dress me up, don't comb my hair,
When I'm dead as dirt, then I won't care
Buy some plywood at the Home depot; have my brothers build a box
No, I don't want no fancy flowers,
People hangin' round my house for hours
Dig a hole on the front lawn and play somethin' that rocks
If I should die alone in bed; if I should fall and hit my head
One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, I'm goin' where it never rains
No, I'm not talkin' bout California,
lay me out and I'll be back to haunt ya
It's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here
Don't go lookin' for my memoirs, I'll tell it all right now
It's not all that exciting, no need to write it down
I was good, then I was bad, then I was good, then I was bad
Then I was bad, but in the very end then I was good again
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, I won't feel the pain
Don't you go puttin' yourself in hoc,
I'll be with Elvis singin' Jailhouse Rock
Well it's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen...Adios, Auf Wiedersehen
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen...Adios, Auf Wiedersehen
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen...Adios, Auf Wiedersehen
Better Than A Girl
Album Made Man 2006
Just like me not to have a spare
Don’t know where I stand with you
I don’t mind bein’ single, I got good at it
Sign on the door, said from two to four, Happy Hour
I been beaten, black eyed
It started at breakfast when she poured him his coffee
I wrote ten thousand poems for girls
Tonight I feel like Frank Sinatra, got a windshield full of stars
Give me some sugar, baby, don’t want no substitute
Mornin’ by the blue sea, two wooden chairs in the sand
She’s a stranger here, she’s always alone
It wasn’t an angel that took her away from me

Make no mistake, this much is true
Once a bee makes honey, that’s all he wants to do
Like me, baby, like me, crazy, like me, baby
When it comes to lovin’ you
Give me your hand, here feel my heart
Sure as this world will try to tear us apart
Once a rich man makes money, that’s all he wants to do
Like me, baby, like me, crazy, like me, baby
When it comes to lovin’ you
I’m boilin’ over when it’s freezin’ cold outside
Thief on the run, he’s finally found himself a place to hide
Like me, baby, like me, crazy, like me, baby
When it comes to lovin’ you, lovin’ you, lovin’ you
Lovin’ you, lovin’ you, lovin’ you
All She Ever Wanted
Billy Falcon
All she ever wanted was a love that would last
She wasn't interested in what comes easy and fast
Not like me at all lookin' for some place to crash land
All she ever wanted was for me to be her man
Now as I lie here alone, I wish that I could blame her
God knows the only one to blame is me
If I only knew where to call, I'd tell her she could have it all
All she ever wanted
All she ever wanted was to hold my hand in the dark
She didn't want a fire, she just wanted one little spark
All she ever wanted was every thing that I never said
All she ever wanted was to love me in this bed
Now as I lie here so cold, I wish that I would have told her
I'd give any thing to hold her close to me
How can I go on without her, now that I've turned out to be
All she ever wanted
The last time I saw her, I watched her walk away in tears
If I only knew where I could find her, I know she'd be glad to hear
Now that I'm all she ever wanted, but it's too late
For all she ever wanted
I found out too late, she was all I ever wanted
Is it too late for all she ever wanted ?
All she ever wanted was a love that would last

Better Than A Girl
Billy Falcon
Got a flat tire 21st and Main Street
Leanin’ on my fender waitin’ on a tow truck
Nothin’ else to do, I just sat there, yea
Watchin’ businessmen comin’ and goin’,
I never seen so many shades of gray
That’s when I saw my true love approachin’
She walked right by and never looked my way
Tell me what’s better than a girl
I can’t even remember why I was in pain
Of all the wonders in this world
What’s better than a girl
Don’t matter if it’s August or December
If you’re in Arkansas or Amsterdam
A pretty girl, can always make you remember
Just how good it is to be a man
Tell me what’s better than a girl
I can’t even remember why I was in pain
Of all the wonders in this world
What’s better than a girl
Blond, brown, black or red
Better than whiskey make you forget
All your troubles fade away
Hey, hey, hey, yea, yea
Tell me what’s better than a girl
I can’t even remember why I was in pain
Of all the wonders in this world
What’s better than a girl
What’s better than a girl
What’s better than a girl

But I’ll stand anywhere that you want me to
I’m a brick off a bridge, a penny from the pocket
Of your thrift store jacket, a teardrop in your locket
Thought I had a grip, but I tasted your lips and I fell
Feather from a dove at the will of the wind
for these weightless seconds I hazard the end
To float like a dancer high over the cancer of being alone
Don’t know where I stand with you
But I’ll stand anywhere you want me to
I’m a brick off a bridge, a penny from the pocket
Of your thrift store jacket, a teardrop in your locket
Thought I had a grip, but I tasted your lips
And I fell down hard
A pause in your poem, a breathless sigh
A prayer asking too much, a spot that won’t dry
Dyin’ to fly
I’m a brick off a bridge, a penny from the pocket
Of your thrift store jacket, a teardrop in your locket
Thought I had a grip, but I tasted your lips
And I fell down hard, yes I fell down hard
I’m a brick off a bridge, a penny from the pocket
Of your thrift store jacket, a teardrop in your locket
Thought I had a grip, but I tasted your lips
And I fell down hard
Don’t know where I stand with you
But I’ll stand anywhere you want me to

My world was too full of me for someone else to fit
Girl, you took me by surprise, you snuck up on me
Blame it on those pale blue eyes, baby
I tried to run but you were faster
I tried to hide, love found me out
Don’t even think about stoppin’ it now
I’ve gotten used to havin’ someone to hold
The way you lean into me when it gets cold
A smile that I can always count on,
You can count on me, happily ever after, baby
I tried to run but you were faster
I tried to hide, love found me out
Don’t even think about stoppin’ it now
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about it; don’t even think about it,
You just forget about it
Don’t even think about stoppin’ it now
I tried to run but you were faster
I tried to hide, love found me out
Don’t even think about stoppin’ it now
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about it, don’t even think about it
You just forget about it
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about takin’ your love from me
Don’t even think about it, don’t even think about it
You just forget about it
Don’t even think about stoppin’ it now

Beers half a buck, free barbecue, all you can eat
The place smelled of smoke, the juke box was playin’,
He stopped lovin’ her today; I thought, if this is Happy Hour,
Then that’s a funny song to play
Lined up at the bar they sat tellin’ their stories, one by one
Each one they told was sadder than the one before
They spoke about love and how it got lost
And oh, how those were the days…..
Suddenly it was quiet and everyone was lookin’ at me
So this is why they call it Happy Hour,
It’s where the broken hearts come to talk about what used to be
So this is why they call it Happy Hour,
I pulled up a chair and told them all about you and me.
They sat there listenin’, grippin’ their glasses and shakin’ their heads
Someone said heard, that someone else said, man, I been there
I told them how much you loved me and how bad I hurt you,
And how it wasn’t over yet;
And everybody but me believed every single word I said
So this is why they call it Happy Hour
It’s where the lonely hearts come when they can’t forget
So this is why they call it Happy Hour
It’s where loves’ wounded come to dance with their dead
So this is why they call it Happy Hour
It’s where the lonely hearts come when they can’t forget
So this is why they call it Happy Hour
It’s where loves’ wounded come to dance with their dead
It’s where loves’ wounded come when they can’t forget
Sign on the door said “from two to four, Happy Hour”

For 30 long years tried, tried
Blue tears, I cried
You won’t see me cryin’ now
Baby, I’m a made man, nothin’s gonna touch me
Made man, you can call it lucky
Made man, that pretty girl she loves me
When she’s in my arms I got the whole world in my hands
Baby, I’m a made man
It ain’t been easy, I got no regrets
Now when you see me, you won’t see me sweat
When you see me smile and you wonder why
Baby, I’m a made man, nothin’s gonna touch me
Made man, you can call me lucky
Made man, that pretty girl she loves me
When she’s in my arms I got the whole world in my hands
Baby, I’m a made man, Baby, I’m a made man
Cracked under pressure, folded up like leaf in a fire
Ive been a thief, Ive been a cheat and a liar
My hands are filthy,
But my heart’s been washed in the blood, blood
Baby, I’m a….
Made man, nothin’s gonna touch me
Made man, you can call it lucky
Made man, that pretty girl she loves me, Made man
Hey yea, I’m a made man, hey yea, I’m a made man

The coffee was a little weak and with that look he let her know
He stormed out to the driveway found his car window shattered
Where there once was a radio, now there was just a hole
It’s a hard day for Mr. Smith; it’s a hard day for Mr. Smith
An hour stuck in traffic, now it just started rainin’
His shirt sleeve was gettin’ soaked, his fuse about to blow
The tolltaker takes his dollar, said hey mister, how’s it goin’?
He just glared back up at him, as if he should know
It’s a hard day for Mr. Smith; it’s a hard day for Mr. Smith
It’s a hard day
If he still had a radio, the news would make him shake
Halfway around the world, there’d been an earthquake
The earth is cracked and bleedin’, a little boy is screamin’
Holdin’ on to his mother, his mother isn’t breathin’….
It’s a hard day for Mr. Smith; it’s a hard day for Mr. Smith
It’s a hard day, it’s a hard day, it’s a hard day for Mr. Smith

Who couldn’t shine your shoes
You are so good to me, yet not a single line for you
That might say somethin’ about me
Don’t even wanna think about, baby
There’s still a line or two
Of poetry that I haven’t used
In these memoirs of a fool
I saved the most precious words for you
You’re my friend, yea
You’re my friend, yea
Pages of tortured verse
A sad song is easy to write
Lonely becomes a friend
When you been so many times
Feel like I should apologize,
It’s taken me so long
To write your song
Baby, there’s still a line or two
Of poetry that I haven’t used
In these memoirs of a fool
I saved the most precious words for you
You’re my friend, yea
You’re my friend, yea
You can count on me to be there
You can count on me to be there
You’re my friend, yea
You’re my friend, yea
You’re my friend, yea

Hit the street snappin’ my fingers, let the valet park my car
Slip inside and kiss the hostess, smooth my way up to the bar
Bartender two fingers of bourbon, it’s all goin’ my way so far
Tonight I feel like Frank Sinatra, a diamond needle deep in the groove
Feels good to feel like Frank Sinatra….
There’s an angel on the stool beside me, turns and tells a dirty joke
I bum a cigarette with her, she lights it, sometimes I forget I don’t smoke
My friend the barkeep pours another, and just as easy it goes down
She’s saying somethin’ ‘bout Las Vegas and wanting to get out of town
Tonight I feel like Frank Sinatra, there’s a glide to my every move
Feels good to feel like Frank Sinatra,...
She’s got me wishin’ I could live forever, and half believin’ there’s a chance
This silver dollar just hit the jackpot, suddenly I know how to dance
Tonight I feel like Frank Sinatra, a diamond needle deep in the groove
Feels good to feel like Frank Sinatra, cause when I do
I’m six foot two, my eyes are blue and you still want me
Yea, you still want me , yes you still want me, don’t you?

I can’t hardly help myself, every time I look at you
Give me some sugar baby, I need some sweetin’ up
You just keep on pourin’ it, I’ll tell you when it’s sweet enough
Give me some sugar, give me some sugar
Drip me some honey darlin’, give me the good stuff
Can’t you see I got it bad, come on baby hook me up
A change of scenery, darlin’ I know you know where
Where I wanna go and the quickest way to get me there
Give me some sugar, give me some sugar
I’m talkin’ pure love, sure love, angels singin’ up above
Whisperin’, lingerin’, I’m lonesome baby, where you been
Give me, give me some, give me some sugar,
Give me some sugar…
Shut out the world now baby, it’s been that kind of day
I don’t want no candlelight, darlin’ I’ll just feel my way
I can’t get close enough, I need to be under your skin
Come on now, don’t keep me waitin’, can’t you see the shape I’m in
Give me, give me some, give me some sugar,
Give me some sugar…
I’m talkin’ pure love, sure love, angels singin’ up above
Whisperin’, lingerin’, I’m lonesome baby, where you

French bread and black coffee, butter and strawberry jam
Sun on her skin, salt in the wind
She’s holdin’ on to my hand, whisperin’ kiss me again
Oh, what a sweet dream
Fishin’ boats in the distance, dragging their nets from the tide
Sundown on the water, beauty runnin’ out of time
Cloud in the sky, tear in her eyes
And she’s holdin’ on to my hand, whisperin’ kiss me again
Oh, what a sweet dream
I don’t know what day it is, and I couldn’t care less
She’s down by the water in a white cotton dress
I run down to meet her; she says “I must look a mess”
And I’ve never seen anything more beautiful
And she’s holdin’ on to my hand, whisperin’ kiss me again
Oh, what a sweet dream

She says she always feels like she’s so far from home
She doesn’t seem to fit, no matter where she goes
It’s like there’s a secret, she’s the only one that doesn’t know
She’s beautiful, everybody loves a rose
She’s beautiful, she’s the only one that doesn’t know
If she feels your pain, she makes it her own
To help her when she hurts is the hardest thing I ever know
There ain’t no in between, she loves you or she don’t
You won’t have to guess, she’s gonna let you know
She’s beautiful, everybody loves a rose
She’s beautiful, she’s the only one that doesn’t know
Sha la la, la la la la la la, la la
Sha la la, la la la la la la, la la
Beautiful…….

There were no golden trumpets, I saw no silver wings
When life gets mean, with a dull blade it cuts
You wanna die ‘cause you hurt too much to go on
But you go on….
Blame it on God, you’re cursin’ at the sun
It’s cruel how it shines as if she isn’t gone
Sometimes it feels better to just let it bleed
You’ll find the strength when you’re down on your knees
To go on, and you’ll go on,
Writing the rest of the song
We’ll sing till the end of the story
On broken legs we will run
We are writing the rest of the song
I will not believe heaven needed another rose
But I’m sure there’s a place where everything beautiful goes
And if she’s thru the clouds lookin’ down on me
I’ll be……
Writing the rest of the song
Sing till the end of the story
On broken legs we will run
We are writing the rest of the song
We are writing the rest of the song
The Moon Saw It All
The Moon Saw It All
Billy Falcon/John Goodwin
It happened like things happen
That southern summer night
Tryin to lose this loneliness
I went out for a drive
I stopped into a little place in the middle of nowhere
I was about to turn and go back home
When I saw her standing there
I smiled at her, she smiled at me
We left that place, the rest is history
She held my hand as walked to my car
Drove down to the river, danced under the stars
I was holding my future there in my arms
And it felt so right
I swear I could feel the walls tumblin down
H er kiss lifted me up ten feet off the ground
I held her so close I could her heart pound
And the moon saw it all that night
She said she waited tables
At the Rocking Horse Cafe
She moved from here from Denver
She was going back one day
She said she liked my records
As we walked back to the car
She said there was something special
About the way I played guitar
I smiled at her, she smiled at me
The night we met, we made history
She held my hand as walked to my car
Drove down to the river, danced under the stars
I was holding my future there in my arms
And it felt so right
I swear I could feel the walls tumblin down
Her kiss lifted me up ten feet off the ground
I held her so close I could her heart pound
And the moon saw it all that night
From the sidelines, watch the game
Stay inside ‘cause it might rain
Put your money in the bank
Die with gas left in the tank
Turn it on and watch the news
Pray what they given’ don’t get you
They said it so it must be true
It’s your life do what you do
It’s your life do what you do
But you won’t be dancin’
When you’re a Skeleton
It’s too late to give your love,
Too late to give your love away
When your bones are brittle, too stiff for partyin’
It’s too late to give your love
Too late to give your love away
Yea, you’ll be skinny,
But too skinny for me
When you’re a Skeleton
When you’re a Skeleton
Don’t take chances, play it safe
Leave the sweet stuff on the plate
Don’t stand too close to the fire
Change the oil, check the tires
Let it sit, don’t speak your mind
There’ll always be a better time
If less is more, we’re doin’ fine
It’s just life do what you do
Yeah, it’s just life do what you do
But you won’t be dancin’
When you’re a Skeleton
It’s too late to give your love,
Too late to give your love away
When your bones are brittle, too stiff for partyin’
It’s too late to give your love
Too late to give your love away
Yea, you’ll be skinny,
But too skinny for me
When you’re a Skeleton
When you’re a Skeleton
Wah, wah, life ain’t fair
Don’t like your bed, well don’t sleep there
Can’t save it up like some bottle of wine
You better drink it up, while there’s still time…
But you won’t be, you won’t be
You won’t be dancin’
When you’re a Skeleton
It’s too late to give your love,
Too late to give your love away
When your bones are brittle, too stiff for partyin’
It’s too late to give your love
Too late to give your love away
It’s too late to give your love
Too late to give your love away
It’s too late to give your love
Too late to give your love away
Yea, you’ll be skinny,
But too skinny for me
When you’re a Skeleton
Man On The Moon
Billy & Rose Falcon
Barely enough to warm the dream
Before you turn away, look up
The stars are closer than they seem
Look at me, I’m livin’ proof
I’m a man on the moon
I’m a jet in the sky
I’m standin’ here
Another wild idea come true
I am you…
A man on the moon
A night like this who could imagine
As distant as the Milky Way
Only a fool would dare believe it
I believed it anyway
I’m a man on the moon
I’m a jet in the sky
I’m standin’ here
Another wild idea come true
I am you…
A man on the moon
Broken down in the dark
Trippin’ to your knees
Love defies, love don’t know no gravity
Take a hopeless dream and give it wings
Look at me, I’m livin’ proof
I’m a man on the moon
I’m a jet in the sky
I’m standin’ here
Another wild idea come true
I am you, I am you, and I am you…
A man on the moon
Sail Away
Album
Billy Falcon's Burning Rose 1977
Baby this love is so serene
Mignight sails boats on the Caribbean
Sooner or later girl me and you
We're gonna get away
A little town in Italy
A fire side cafe just you and me
As soon as I catch the wind
I'm gonna take you girl and sail away
as soon as I catch the wind
I'm gonna take you girl and sail away
Baby this love you wish for
I've seen I've heard of white horses
Running along the shore
Might have been a dream or on the movie screen
Hey I'm not sure
Spanish dancers click their castanets
The accordion fades as they pull ip the nets
I wanna walk with you down
A Cobblestone road
See all the beautiful things that we've never known
As soon as catch the wind
I'm gonna take you girl and sail away
As soon as I catch the wind
I'm gonna take you girl and sail away
My Weakness
If I lose my tongue, then with my hands I’ll talk
If I lose my feet then on my hands I’ll walk
If I lose my eyes, then in my mind I’ll see
All the things that can go wrong, girl they don’t scare me
Cause if my team don’t win, I’ll just take it on the chin
Swallow my medicine, ‘cause I can take it
Yes I can take it like a man as good as anybody can
Girl only you can break my world in two
‘Cause you’re MY WEAKNESS…
If my house burns down, I'll sleep under the stars
I'll find some way to get around, if they steal my car
If my ship don't come in then once again I'll try
All the worries in this world, they won't make me cry
'Cause girl I got the stuff
I won't get shock, when times get tough
I'll just chaik it up, cause I can take it
yes I can take it like a man
as good as anybody can
only you can break my world in two
'cause you're my weakness
only you can make me cry
when you say "Jump" I'll ask "how high?"
I love you, you're my weakness
Yea, I can take it like man
as good as anybody can
only you can break my world in two
YOU'RE MY WEAKNESS
Spark in the Dark
Billy Falcon
Tonight somebody’s dyin’ of a broken heart
Tonight somebody’s prayin’ for a second chance
Tonight somewhere a shadow’s drownin’ in the rain
Tonight he says he rather die than live in pain
Tonight somebody’s givin’ hope just one last chance
Song in the night, are you man enough to love?
Song in the night, in a world so cold and stark
Do you dare to be a spark in the dark?
Do you dare to be a spark in the dark?
Do you dare to be a spark?
Tonight somewhere somebody doesn’t have a friend
Tonight somebody’s cryin’ since she’s losin’ again
Tonight somebody’s standin’ to close to the edge
Tonight now he’s wonderin’ what he’s livin’ for
Tonight somehow he’s gotta find a way to score
Tonight somebody’s hungry for a love that’s true
It’s up to you….
Song in the night, are you man enough to love?
Song in the night, in a world so cold and stark
Do you dare to be a spark in the dark?
Do you dare to be a spark in the dark?
Do you dare to be a…..
We don’t have to take it
Let’s take the darkness and shake it
Love's a spark in the dark
Do you dare to be a spark in the dark?
